Fab Freebie: Book Worms Rejoice

***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***

So many book-hungry people out there! This giveaway hit its 10,000 cap within 24 hours, so we’re already back with a winner. The lucky worm is… Melissa (who keeps her favorite books in a bedside cabinet, a living room end table, and on a special display shelf in the family room. She believes “all good book nerds have them in all parts of the house!”). Congrats Melissa!

Our book release is officially here! Woo hoo! And we’re celebrating by giving away books this week. But not just our book. Lots o’ books. In fact, some of them will even come signed by some pretty awesome people. Woot! We’ve been gobbling up so many design, decor, and home books lately that we thought it’d be fun to share some of our recent faves from our library. So in addition to a signed copy of our new book, you’ll also be getting copies of the following (marked with an asterisk when signed!):

  • The Things That Matter by Nate Berkus
  • The Handbuilt Home by Ana White*
  • Design*Sponge at Home by Grace Bonney
  • Home by Novogratz by Robert & Cortney Novogratz*
  • Style Me Pretty Weddings by Abby Larson* (which releases next month)
  • Happier at Home by Gretchen Rubin*

BookGiveawaySMP

  • PRIZE: Copies of all of the books shown above, including signatures from us, Gretchen Rubin, Abby Larson, the Novogratzes, and Ana White!
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “BOOK ME!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … what special place in your home do you keep your favorite books? Do they get a prime spot on your coffee table? Or do you have a large collection of faves that fill a bookcase somewhere? Maybe your top pick at the moment just lives cozily on your night table?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Nov 7th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The United States (although we try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible – more on that here)
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info.

    My ever-changing pile of favorite books rotates in a basket on the floor of my side of the bed. Once I swap things, my favorites are visually-organized on a nice bookshelf in our living room. My current faves pile includes Jane Eyre and Harry Potter book 7 for me, and Olivia and Sandra Boynton ‘Snoozers,’ for reading to my daughter :)

    My favorite collection of books are my cookbooks that I have displayed on a fun turquoise shelf in my kitchen. It also has a great Anthropologie vase for some added color. It’s my favorite. :)

    Where don’t we have books? There is a bookshelf in EVERY ROOM in our house except the kitchen and the bathrooms. (Although plenty of reading gets done in those rooms, too!) We keep books from the library on our living room mantel, because we have to keep track of them and make sure they go back before they name a wing of the library after us thanks to our donations. (Donations=Fines)

    All of my favorites are currently hidden in my sneaky liquor cabinet built into my kitchen counter seating area. This is due to the fact that my puppy likes to eat paper and climb on shelves to sneakily mark his territory and I didn’t want them ruined. Normally they’d be prominently displayed on the top shelf of a bookcase.
